00:00Of course, I was there when you were awarded as Best Drama Actress for Pulang Araw in the Platinum Stallion Media Awards.
00:12How did you feel when the program ended but you were still able to receive recognition and accolades?
00:20It was a great honor to receive all the awards that we received.
00:27Like I said before, the award that we received is not only for us but also for the unsung heroes of World War II.
00:37In the beginning, we didn't expect anything but we were able to give what our audiences are looking for and what they will learn here in Pulang Araw.
00:50So far, your role as Teresita is the most challenging.
00:54If I'm not mistaken from what I've seen in your projects, this is the most demanding physically and emotionally.
01:04It seems like you really tried to be an actress here.
01:08Yes, I really tried.
01:10When I accepted the project, they told me that there are four of us here.
01:18When I asked them what my role is, they told me it's a comfort woman.
01:22That's when I was like, oops, wait, it's heavy.
01:27It's not the kind of joke where you're just going to fight, you're just going to fight in the war.
01:30It's not like you're just going to use a gun.
01:32When they told me that it's a comfort woman, I was like, it's heavy.
01:35Then when they told me that it's going to be a story about Teresita, that she's going to go through a lot,
01:43I was nervous. To be honest, I was nervous.
01:47Will I be able to accept this? Will I be able to handle this heavy role?
01:51And how will I be able to give the character that I'm looking for to the character of Teresita?
02:00It's physically and emotionally demanding for the scenes that Teresita is doing.
02:07And the good thing is that a lot of people appreciated what you did.
02:10Yes, thank you.
02:11What you did in that series.
02:13It's also a big factor that, of course, we have a coach.
02:16Because in the beginning, it's normal for you to be nervous about your character.
02:23So Coach Ruth is there, shout out to you.
02:26And Director Dom is also there, who is open to us.
02:30If you can do a collaboration, what do you think will help your character?
02:34And that's the same thing here in Peleseri.
02:36It's also a big factor, the artists that I worked with there,
02:41Ate Rochelle, Ashley, who are so good in our comfort women scenes.
02:46Miss Isay.
02:47Miss Isay Alvarez, they're so good.
02:50So it's heavy.
02:51The good thing there is that you're helping each other.
02:54So it's a big thing that they're the ones that I worked with.
02:58And I'm also proud of the talents.
03:01You'll appreciate that there's no big or small roles.
03:06And you came from that.
03:07I came from that.
03:08You came from being a talent.
03:09Yes.
03:10Before you reached this.
03:12That's true.
03:13I even did extra before.
03:14Yes.
03:15Those who know me know that.
03:18You've come so far.
03:21From just being a friend of a friend of a friend.
03:30Assistant friend of the best friend of the lead actress.
03:37Looking back, Sanya, and now that you're accepting roles,
03:42you're already accepting introductions.
03:44What do you want to tell yourself?
03:48You see, this is what I've achieved.
03:51When I have an award, every time I receive one,
03:58it's a good reward for yourself.
04:01That this is what I've done.
04:04But you can appreciate what you've done.
04:06That's what I feel is success.
04:08It's just a good feeling.
04:10It's always like that.
04:12That's why to everyone who believes in me,
04:15they're the reason why I'm still here.
04:17Why I'm still working hard.
04:19Because they're the ones who believe in me.
04:21It makes me happy.
04:23And I feel proud that I was able to do that.
04:29And you've already achieved that.
04:30And I want to be an inspiration to others.
04:33If I was able to do it, why not?
04:35You can do it too, right?
04:36Yes.
04:37You want to be an artist.
04:40Yes.
04:41For those who are in the background right now,
04:43one day, you'll have your time.
04:45Yes.
04:46I always believe in that.
04:48Be nice to everyone.
04:49Because the world is round.
04:51Your support, your talent,
04:53you don't know that it will be the next time.
04:56So that's how it is.
04:57There are miracles that the Lord gives you.
04:59There are blessings that the Lord gives you.
05:02It's just how you appreciate and be grateful
05:06for what He gives you.
05:08Just do your best in everything you do.
05:11That's where your attitude comes from.
05:13Because I've seen that you're very close to your co-stars,
05:17to your co-workers.
05:19That's where it comes from because you know how you are.
05:23You started when you were young, right?
05:26Yes.
05:27That's where your companionship comes from,
05:30on how you treat other people.
05:32Because when you're talented,
05:34when you're just in the background,
05:35are there other artists who treated you well,
05:40who were good to you?
05:42Yes.
05:43When I had an extra with Ms. Bella Padilla,
05:46she was one of those who were very nice to me.
05:49When she smiles, that's a big thing.
05:52When you're nervous as a new artist,
05:55it's a big help.
05:57You know, your co-actor is nice to you,
06:00the artist.
06:02When you feel less nervous,
06:04that's what helps.
06:05So, wherever they are, I'm always on standby.
06:09For example, we were in the same room.
06:12I don't know if Ms. Bella Padilla still remembers.
06:15But when you were there,
06:17Lexi Fernandez and I were there.
06:19There were just the three of us.
06:21But they're really nice at first.
06:23And another one, Ada, Andrea Torres.
06:25Andrea Torres.
06:26There was a moment when I was extra with them.
06:29When I was extra with Mr. Mikael Daez,
06:32I couldn't cry.
06:33I couldn't do it.
06:34And you know what Andrea helped me with?
06:38It was Ms. Ada.
06:39She made me cry,
06:41even if it was just for a short time.
06:43Because time is a big thing for all producers.
06:46But she made you feel that you can do it.
06:50I told her about it.
06:51Because we're friends now.
06:53She said, I really did it.
06:55When you're genuine for a year,
06:59you don't remember the good things you did for others.
